Try this.... local *CMD; $cmd = "dir"; open(CMD,"$cmd 2>&1|")|| die "Could not open file handle\n"; while(<CMD>) { print $_,"\n"; } close(CMD) || die "Could not close $cmd $!\n";
The program is printing to STDOUT.
Hmm.. Is there any situation when it's motivated to do that instead of using backticks (or the qr// operator)?
